Where to practice an individual sport Ales

The Gard region is highly suitable for caving, and while the SCSP may not have won any medals, it has a fine roster of enthusiasts ready to share this sport with the greatest respect for an infinitely fragile environment. Equipment is supplied by the club, and introductory sessions are organized on request. The association also brings together geology, prehistory, via ferrata and canyoning enthusiasts, many of whom also enjoy photography.

This green trail links Saint-Martin-de-Valgalgues with the south of Alès. Starting at the Pôle Mécanique crossroads, it crosses the town along the Gardon, taking you over a distance of just 7 kilometers to the 18-Juin-1940 commemorative bridge. The smooth surface is perfect for rollerblading and skateboarding, and whatever your preferred sport, you'll be able to progress in complete safety thanks to the concrete edges.

At the end of March, the town of Alès receives one of the rare races of races against the watch organised in the Hexagon, and takes place between the city and the Belvedere. You have understood: the climb is sporty! But if you are driven and the final coast of 1,2 km is not cold in your eyes, rush! The opportunity is ideal for measuring to others, but also - and above all - for yourself, in a cosy and warm atmosphere. And whatever your time, remember that the most important thing is to participate!
